Brain Quotes (page 9)

J. K. Rowling quote: "Longbottom, if brains were gold, you'd be poorer than Weasley,..."
Longbottom, if brains were gold, you'd be poorer than Weasley, and that's saying something. J. K. Rowling
This,” Alaric explained to Sarah in what he thought was a kindly voice, “isn’t love you’re feeling. Only dopamine. Because Felix isn’t like anyone else you know. Being a creature of the night, he’s new and exciting and activates a neurotransmitter in your brain that releases feelings of euphoria when you’re around him…especially because you know you can never actually be together, and he seems complicated, and perhaps even sensitive and vulnerable at times. But I can assure you: he’s anything... Meg Cabot
All life is only a set of pictures in the brain, among which there is no difference betwixt those born of real things and those born of inward dreamings, and no cause to value the one above the other. H. P. Lovecraft
Reading fiction is important. It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our own, which in turn makes us more empathetic beings. Following complex story lines stretches our brains beyond the 140 characters of sound-bite thinking, and staying within the world of a novel gives us the ability to be quiet and alone, two skills that are disappearing faster than the polar icecaps. Ann Patchett
George Orwell quote: "Perhaps a man really dies when his brain stops, when he loses..."
Perhaps a man really dies when his brain stops, when he loses the power to take in a new idea. George Orwell
There comes a time in a man's life when he hears the call of the sea. If the man has a brain in his head, he will hang up the phone immediately. Dave Barry
The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says that the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, the effect of which is like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick. Douglas Adams
Evelyn Waugh quote: "Of course those that have charm don't really need brains."
Of course those that have charm don't really need brains. Evelyn Waugh
Shit, Violence, bullets in the brain Unavailing. We're in too deep to pull out. Waiting for an orgasm, Mr. Baldwin? Yes, waiting for an orgasm that's all. Allen Ginsberg
An imperfectly remembered life is a useless treachery. Every day, more fragments of the past roll around heavily in the chambers of an empty brain, shedding bits of color, a sentence or a fragrance, something that changes and then disappears. It drops like a stone to the bottom of the cave. Barbara Kingsolver
Scraps and shreds of thoughts were simply swarming in his brain, but he could not catch at one, he could not rest on one, in spite of all his effort? Fyodor Dostoevsky
Terry Prachett quote: "Believe it. That was the way. Never stop believing. Fool the..."
Believe it. That was the way. Never stop believing. Fool the eye, fool the brain. Terry Prachett
My friend's wiry arms were around me and he was leading me to the chair."You're not hurt, Watson? For God's sake say that you're not hurt!"It was worth a wound -it was worth many wounds- to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay beyond that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. Arthur Conan Doyle
Where hunters and woodcutters once slept in their boots by the dying light of their thousand fires and went on, old teutonic forebears with eyes incandesced by the visionary light of a massive rapacity, wave on wave of the violent and the insane, their brains stoked with spoorless analogues of all that was, lean aryans with their abrogate Semitic chapbook reenacting the dramas and parable therein... Cormac McCarthy
...and sank into the profound slumber which comes only to suchfortunate folk as are troubled neither with mosquitoes nor fleas nor excessive activity of brain. Nikolai Gogol
